Self-Realization; the knowledge of the absolute...

You are not a little body existing in this world. No! It is this world which exists in you! You are the pure spirit which pervades this whole universe and on which this whole universe rests. You are the permanent, formless, unconditioned, unfathomable, omnipresent intelligence… p 5

Blessed is the man who through his spiritual efforts has discovered the self, beyond all actions, words and thoughts. But more blessed is he who has become totally dissolved in the self and has become one with the absolute, his own natural state… p 23

Liberation is nothing more than non-attachment to the illusory objects of the senses whereas bondage is attachment to the sense-objects. This is the essence of all the teachings… p 26

There is no individual self and there is no supreme self other than you, the one self. When you realize this, you become desireless and enveloped in peace… p 29

Sai Baba Gita; The way to self-realisation and liberation in this age...

As we proceed on our path the clouds of illusion thin out and we become aware of a great mystery. We realize that the spiritual journey we thought we were on is itself an illusion. We are not individuals on the spiritual path following the direction of the divine inner "guru". In truth, we are the totality. We are the divinity itself. We are and always have been the "atma" Atma is neither born nor reborn; nor does it ever die. As "atma" we have not come from somewere nor are we going somewhere. We have never changed. Only the illusion of individuality and separateness has changed.Ultimately that illusion disappears and we discover the glorious truth that we have always been one with God. Baba tells us, "God if you think, God you are dust if you think, dust you are. Think God. Be God. You are God. Realize it"... p. x

For all your sorrows, it is your feelings and attitudes alone that are responsible. Once you recognize the defects in objects and relationships you will have no desire to possess them... p 99

If you could understand that this indweller, who is your own reality, is the divinity itself, in all its fullness, then you will know the truth and enjoy infinite peace... p 119

Foolish ones who are born in illusion and grow up in illusion, never recognize illusion for what it is. The whole world is illusion, all attachment are illusion, family life is illusion, death is illusion, all that you see and think is illusion. This life itself is illusion... p 120

This sorrow that comes on, particularly when someone near and dear has died, can only be there because of attachment. After knowing full well that death is certain, if you still worry about somebody, it must be due to the attachment which you have developed for that body. It is this attachment which is responsible for all your grief. Therefore when someone has died the primary cause for sorrow is attachment, not love... p 174

It is only after you achieve patience and forbearance and establish them firmly within you, that you will develop the inner peace and equanimity that is needed in order to understand the true principles of spirituality and divinity. You should not have any attachment, any hatred or any jealousy within you. If you have attachment, hatred and jealousy, even in the smallest measure, you will not be able to progress spiritualy... p 230

Do not think or worry about birth and death, or joy and sorrow which accrue to you. Birth and death are relevant only to the body. They do not refer to you. You are not the body. You are the permanent entity which is free from birth and death. You have neither a beginning nor an end. You were never born and you will never die. You are the "atma". You are all-pervasive. Verily, you are God. Your very self is God and God is your self... p 161

The divinity is one. It is eternal, unchanging and everlasting. It is the indweller of all bodies. As the indweller of the body of living beings it is called the "atma", the immortal self. As the indweller of the world it is called God. It is the one divinity present in different forms...It may be called God, the "atma", or the indweller. "Atma" and God and indweller are exactly the same. They are the one divinity... p 231

The Gita teaches not only that God is everywhere, but that the inner truth behind the "I" that you refer to when speaking of yourself is your immortal self, your highest self, one and the same with God. And that highest self in you is also the highest self of everyone. It is the "atma", one with the divinity. In essence, you and everyone and everything are God... p 255

When you perform your assigned duties, whatever they are, with full concentration on the work, offering it to the divinity, and without any personal interest in the fruit, then your actions become sacred and grand... p 317

In time, you will discover that everything in this world is temporary. Your relationships, your attachments, your accomplishments, the sense of individuality you have developed, are all going to disappear. Everything gets washed away in the flow of time... p 332

Make an effort to see the same divine principle everywhere and in everything, until you realize the ultimate truth that only the "atma", which is your very self, is real and that it alone exists... p 345

Within your body is the spiritual heart, and within that heart is God. Also in your body is the individual soul. These two, God and the individual, appearing to live separately inside the body, are playing together, acting out their parts in a grand drama. They come together and go apart again, as directed by the author who has written this play. He assigns all the separate roles of good and bad, virtue and sin. But, in truth, there is only the one divinity that plays all these parts... p 351

From the standpoint of the body, there is the individualized soul manifested as this particular person of body and mind, and there is God who is the indweller of the heart. As long as you have the delusion of the body, these two, God and the soul remain separate entities enjoying their play with each other. As soon as the delusion disappears, they merge into the one all-pervasive divine principle... p 352
